[Avodah] K.P. vs P.A.

Similarly, tum'ah may be only defined in relation to a baseline. If the
whole tzibur is tamei, it's like sea level shifted.

I don't see the analogy because tum'ah is caused by contact with
the dead. So the fact that it is disregarded because of the tzibbur,
doesn't change its complexion.

The examples you give have to do with relative things. Tumah is tumah
and can be overlooked for the greater good, but I don't see how that is
the same as voltage, mountain height or polar ice caps.

Tell me what I'm missing.
